Handmade Mattresses
Our handmade mattresses use natural fillings like recycled wool and cotton, ensuring breathability and longevity. Each mattress is crafted with traditional methods, offering tailored support and comfort. Available in various firmness levels and sizes, they are designed to outlast synthetic alternatives while maintaining ethical production standards.
Wooden Bed Frames
Crafted from durable flooring-grade pine, our wooden bed frames feature bolted construction for stability and longevity. Designed to support mattresses effectively, they include centre beams for added strength. These beds are easy to assemble and disassemble, ensuring lasting use without compromising structural integrity.
London Deliveries
We offer a monthly London delivery and assembly service, typically on Sundays. Deliveries are charged by postcode and include assistance with unloading. Pre-booking is essential to ensure availability, and our team provides guidance for smooth logistics within Greater London.
Custom Sizes
Tailored to specific dimensions, our custom-sized mattresses accommodate unique requirements. Modifications include adjustments for depth, width, and length, with pricing based on size variations. This service ensures a perfect fit for non-standard bed frames while maintaining the same quality and comfort as standard models.
Mattress Disposal
We guide customers on responsible mattress disposal, including local authority collection and charity donation options. Our advice ensures compliance with hygiene regulations, promoting sustainable practices while simplifying the replacement process for end-of-life mattresses.

Excellent quality beds and mattresses. We bought our bedframe over 20 years ago and its still going strong . We customised our frame with the colour of our choice, custom drawers and also changed the footboard for a different design. When it came to purchasing our children's beds, we returned to L&F and they were excellent once again. I have plugged L&F to all my friends and family. Which other manufacturer can give a lifetime guarantee on the frame? I've yet to find anyone else. One day all beds will be made this way. And so they should be.

Exceptional quality and definitely made to last. We still have a bed frame and mattress from over 25 years ago and since then have purchased 2 more firm pocket mattresses. Well be back for another bed frame in the near future, thank you for the great service as always!

In 2008, i purchased bed frames, mattresses, red wood storage boxes and a sofa set. 11 years on, everything is good as new. No issue whatsoever. The best quality buy i have ever experienced and thankful for discovering this hidden gem.

Amazing Mattresses and Service. Ive had my mattress for over three years and have never suffered from back pain since I bought it. After sales services is excellent, I required some re-stitching work to be carried out under warranty with no quibble. A pleasure to do business with and no doubt I will be back to buy another mattress for the second bedroom.

I was looking for a space saving bed for my smallish bedroom and as I needed a king size or bigger, platform beds seemed to be the answer. After lots of searching online I came across L&F who out of all the others were the most reasonably priced.I called to get some advice and Julian helped me to decide on what sized bed and what type of mattress I should choose. He was brilliant. Bearing in mind I only told him what I liked in a mattress. He listened to what I wanted, talked me through the different options. Explained about open coil and pocket sprung etc. and talked through my ideal budget. He

Beds and mattresses, received today so I admit not slept on yet! The oiled wood looks and smells delicious like real wood, unusual these days, and is so smooth on all the edges. The style of the platform bed is perfect, such a lovely simple form made very strongly in generous chunky wood, with no protuberances to bang knees on, it can be a sofa or seat from any angle, and the space underneath just right for storage without compromising stability (Our beds were raised by about 10cm). Then the mattresses are wonderful, we love the cotton ticking, and all natural stuffing without chemicals to inhale
